Some Behavioral Signs of Sexual Abuse
|
|
Dr. Anthony Urquiza,
"There may be some nonspecific types of signs. That might include
things like shame or a sense of embarrassment. Again, withdrawal
or aggressiveness define the types of behavior. Sleep disorders
or nightmares or difficulty either going to sleep or maybe waking
up sometime during the night. They may have avoidant types of
behaviors or fears or phobias-some kind of concern about being in
a particular place or a concern about being with a particular
person. There may be symptoms or signs of depression, things
like a change in their school performance that is noticeably
different than the way they used to act; a change in the type of
activities in which they've been involved..."
"...they might be very disruptive when they didn't used to be or very angry, acting out, defiant or oppositional." |
